How to make my Admin Panel to look like it did?

[javierdl]

This happened after I attempted to install PHPIDS
The installation was not successfull, instead it gave me an error (which I sent to the developer already):
And this is how my Admin Panel looks like now (right image).
Thanks in advance,

Have you removed it?... PHPIDS...

[javierdl]

Well, I thought of that, but I can't find it. At least it's not showing in my new Admin Panel layout. Is there somewhere in particular I'm to go to confirm that?

Hi javier,

I've had the same problem when I installed the FeedbackForm. It gave me an error-message saying he wasn't able to install one of the files.

You can try to re-install it in Extensions > Module manager > P > PHPIDS.

If this still doesn't work you can check out the developers-site: http://php-ids.org/downloads/
Download the PHPIDS file and install it manually through an FTP program. Place it in 'www.yourdomain.com/modules'.

I'm not sure this will work, but the same procedure worked for me with the FeedbackForm...

if the admin page isn't styling correctly it means that there's a php error someplace, you have to track it down.

in CMS 1.2 you can turn on debug mode in the config.php and that should tell you what's failing.

It sucks that I can't put the time I used to... I just started a new full time job, and now I have to wait until the weekend to take care of this
Thanks guys

calguy1000, you think you could be more specific as to how to go into Debug Mode?
I went back into my panel but there's nothing using the word "debug" on the page
I did a search in the CMSms site for debug but didn't find much, except for 2 links to possible solutions:
1- A Firefox plugin: Firebug, and
2- A link to a web site to install an engine called Smarty Template Engine.
Is any of these 2 the right path?

Thanks in advance,

JDL

In your config.php file look for:

Code: Select all

#CMSMS Debug Mode?  Turn it on to get a better error when you
#see {nocache} errors.
$config['debug'] = false;

and change that last line to:

Code: Select all

$config['debug'] = true;

I've had the same problem with the Form Builder module (see http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 270.0.html). Perhaps this an issue Module implementation in CMSMS, not a specific module? Or these modules have a common bug?

I resorted to a reinstall and restore - my data was all intact, it was simply the interface that was having problems. That and the fact that the Modules page was inaccessible after this occurred.

Ok Nullig, here's the debug code it spit. What do you think it's the problem?:

I ignore how complicated nor how risky it may be to reinstall, but I hope solving the problem is as simple (or nearly) as it was triggering the debugging results

Found this post while digging for info on the Album Module - it may help with the Admin Style Sheet issue:

Thank you so much tophers
It definitely looks like the answer to my problem!
I'll have a look soon.
